"Half The Sky" VERY CLOSE to carrying Olympic Torch in China Games 2008

Just got this email from "Half The Sky." As the note indicates, this doesn't ensure she will carry the torch. But, chances are better than before this vote!

"A giant thank you for your votes to help Half the Sky carry the Olympictorch. Because of you, we earned an amazing 14,188 votes and ended thecontest in FIRST PLACE! Of course that doesn’t guarantee us a place inthe torch relay (a committee will make the final decision) but itcertainly will assure that our bid gets serious consideration. Most of allI want to tell you how very touched we at HTS were by the way you and yourfamilies and friends all rallied behind us and also by the many, many kindmessages you left on the website.
I can’t tell you how lucky I feel to be a part of this beautifulcommunity."

with lots of love,

Jenny
